A member (JALANSON) is trying to sell his runflat Bridgestones RE050 and prompted the question of tire wear... I'd like to know how other members are wearing their runflats- mine have 25k and still "look" to have >80% tread- in fact one of the rears (275/18) was replaced at 12K and I can't really tell the difference. I haven't measured exactly the tread depth but it's very substantial and when freshly hit with ArmorAll they just look brand new... I commute 30 miles a day of windy backroads along a riverbed and really drive them. They are started to get some noise, but not as bad as my previous 5'er with Conti's at 20k.
I was going to get out of them when worn and replace with PS2 or something- but I wonder now...
Others?
